Carb Counting Doesn't Work

Food manufacturers are allowed a ± 20% margin of error in their nutrition labeling. Even expert carb counting can be off by 20% or more.

The Goal is Predictability

By choosing foods that are low in fast-acting carbohydrates and high in protein, insulin activity and resulting blood sugars are more predictable. Large doses of insulin are unpredictable.

A high blood sugar is a low blood sugar waiting to happen.
